I'm not sure if the one who submitted Sakazuki will respond, so I'll start. Akumo starts by taking the stance of the Sheer Perfection Reset Fist, which shows zero openings. He will then fire four Mortum Bursts to test what he assumes to be this new S Class hero in front of him.

Akainu should be able to tank those with his lava body and attack back with some giant attack or AOE. Akumo is gonna need to somehow figure out a way to hit Akainu, which can only be done via learning Haki which will be hard as Armament is invisible and Observation can’t really be observed either, or having some element that can match or overpower Magma. Otherwise he’ll be swiftly melted, Akainu doesn’t mess around with anybody who would obstruct justice. He kills his own men all the time.

Akumo is able to learn impossible things even just by seeing them (such as with Esper powers), I'm not so knowledgeable on One Piece but Haki should be something Akumo can copy once he sees Akainu using it. Even if he can't see it, even just feeling it will be enough, but that's not instant, like how it took time for him to learn those psychic abilities. He has extreme heat resistance on his own already as well resisting Father Monster's flames (should go up to 10,000 degrees Celsius minimum) and he was only just starting to Monsterize, so his resistance is much better now. Plus his willpower manifesting in higher evolution should make that skyrocket if Akumo gets truly threatened by it. His basic style martial arts allows him to reflect the same extreme heat blasts as well, so his current one is WAY better at it. He can reflect attacks which are a one shot tier above himself too.

Akumo also has Mortum Starlight which basically turns him into melted mush, as well as Eight Way Thunderclap which would dust his body, and Tornado Torrent of Terror can cut down an opponent so thoroughly that not even vapor of their form remains (Low-High regen being of no help there). These abilities also ignore durability, and also should havge no trouble slicing or hurting/hitting magma based things.

Akumo also has the affoermentioned psychic powers to defend. What stops him from halting Akainu with them? They are both Class E, so he may not be able to twist Akainu very much, but he shouldn't be able to attack when he's hit with a Psychic Bind. Even if not, a Psychic Barrier ought to protect him, since their defensive abilities are very powwerful and they're bothy at 5-C (Akumo's stats also ever increasing, albeit slowly, with every movement he makes)

On top of it all, Akumo has elemental control, so he may be take control of Akainu's magma himself eventually, but if it's Haki based that wouldn't be the same. Akumo eventually using mimicry on the Haki might allow for it though.

The shockwave of thunderclap could also push back a large AOE attack via sheer force if the lava doesn’t just become dust first

Even if he can't see it, even just feeling it will be enough, but that's not instant, like how it took time for him to learn those psychic abilities.

Haki itself won't be felt or seen by an enemy unless it is used on a weapon (ie "Black Blades"), made black and visible (something Akainu doesn't do), or is the beyond advanced stages, where they actually inject the haiku into the opponents body (something Akainu doesn't have). Otherwise, it will just feel like really hard, really tough punches.

Observation isn't really an energy being dispelled out at all iirc, so I don't even think he can see it to copy.

He has extreme heat resistance on his own already as well resisting Father Monster's flames (should go up to 10,000 degrees Celsius minimum) and he was only just starting to Monsterize, so his resistance is much better now. Plus his willpower manifesting in higher evolution should make that skyrocket if Akumo gets truly threatened by it. His basic style martial arts allows him to reflect the same extreme heat blasts as well, so his current one is WAY better at it. He can reflect attacks which are a one shot tier above himself too.

Sakazuki's Magma is like 25,000-160000 degrees Celsius just by its aura alone, and this aura is explicitly shown to be able to damage things on its own (he instantly vaporizes steel weapons by being near them).

Akumo also has Mortum Starlight which basically turns him into melted mush, as well as Eight Way Thunderclap which would dust his body, and Tornado Torrent of Terror can cut down an opponent so thoroughly that not even vapor of their form remains (Low-High regen being of no help there). These abilities also ignore durability, and also should havge no trouble slicing or hurting/hitting magma based things.

Actually, if he can't hit Akainu's "true body", then even if he were to vaporize all of his magma form, he would just create a new one. His Low-High comes in whenever you can both bypass his magma body, and hit his true body (which haki allows to do).

Akumo also has the affoermentioned psychic powers to defend. What stops him from halting Akainu with them? They are both Class E, so he may not be able to twist Akainu very much, but he shouldn't be able to attack when he's hit with a Psychic Bind. Even if not, a Psychic Barrier ought to protect him, since their defensive abilities are very powwerful and they're bothy at 5-C (Akumo's stats also ever increasing, albeit slowly, with every movement he makes)

Akimbo is baseline Class E (No calc on the page), while Sakazuki upscales from a value 10x above baseline. While he probably would be able to make up that gap and surpass it eventually, it's not going to be instant.

On top of it all, Akumo has elemental control, so he may be take control of Akainu's magma himself eventually, but if it's Haki based that wouldn't be the same.

Tbh this wouldn't do much, as he'd just be attack magma...with magma.

Akumo eventually using mimicry on the Haki might allow for it though.

This is probably his best bet.

The way I see this fight, Akainu should win more times than not. Observation Haki will easily be able to deal with any sort of martial arts he can do (reading his mind, sensing his intent, briefly seeing the future, etc), Armament can easily help negate any sort of regeneration shenanigans (Up to Mid-High) and also increases his attack potency even further, and his magma is more than hot enough to completely fry the flesh off of Akumo with just its aura, let alone getting hit by its full, head on, Dura Neg heat.

But the thing is he can’t see Akainu using Haki. Not sure he could feel it either, Luffy couldn’t tell what he was hit with when armament was used on him. Somewhat last thread said Akainu’s magma starts at 50000 F and gets to 288000 which is far higher than 10000 C, so not sure Akumo’s adaptation would let him cover that fast enough. I think it’d be a bit too much to assume Akumo can instantly adapt to or reflect things so much hotter than what he’s used to.

Akainu has a ton of combat skill/experience as well as precog, so Akumo melting him would be hard for more than just his magma body. Akainu isn’t overconfident, he’ll dodge if needed. He also has Low-High regen for his Magma body, so anything less than the Tornado wouldn’t take him out.

Actually, if he can't hit Akainu's "true body", then even if he were to vaporize all of his magma form, he would just create a new one. His Low-High comes in whenever you can both bypass his magma body, and hit his true body (which haki allows to do).

Just seeing this should allow Akumo to do something similar for his own; he already has good fire elemental powers and he can clearly see Akainu doing this. If that's Haki based, there's the mimicry right there.

Just seeing him regenerate will also raise Akumo's regeneration abilities too.

Sakazuki's Magma is like 25,000-160000 degrees Celsius just by its aura alone, and this aura is explicitly shown to be able to damage things on its own (he instantly vaporizes steel weapons by being near them).

If this doesn't kill Akumo right away (I doubt it would, I already stated his resistance is far higher now), his heat resistance is just going to continuously shoot up to the point of the hundreds of thousands, very likely before even a single minute passes (and he should have enough tom just survive after only a few seconds). Plus, he should copy/mimic some form of heat aura himself once he feels it, and if it's a Haki based aura, another instance of learning Haki right away.

Even if it isn't Haki he has enough abilities on his own + evolution to make a similar type of aura which he can use to further his absility to survive extreme heat, sepceially if he decides to turn fire onto himself just to force his own passive evolution.

Akimbo is baseline Class E (No calc on the page), while Sakazuki upscales from a value 10x above baseline. While he probably would be able to make up that gap and surpass it eventually, it's not going to be instant.

Just a ten times difference isn't much for Akumo to make up, especially if he starst bstruggling to hold him with Esper abilites. Unless he can overpower it effortlessly like Seiya does, akumo will once again undergo rapid evolution, and his LS will shoot up potentially over a hundred times after a small bit of time, completely flipping the dynamic of the battle.

Tbh this wouldn't do much, as he'd just be attack magma...with magma.

It's not that Akumo would be actually attacking with Magma, it's that he'd use his control of the elements to take control of and manipulate the magma based attacks Akainu uses, essentially making it so that all of his magma based moves miss. It's basically Akumo turning his powers against him and forcing them to go in different directions every time.

The way I see this fight, Akainu should win more times than not. Observation Haki will easily be able to deal with any sort of martial arts he can do (reading his mind, sensing his intent, briefly seeing the future, etc), Armament can easily help negate any sort of regeneration shenanigans (Up to Mid-High) and also increases his attack potency even further, and his magma is more than hot enough to completely fry the flesh off of Akumo with just its aura, let alone getting hit by its full, head on, Dura Neg heat.

Except that Akumo's extreme willpower is known for allowing him to survive fatal attacks, including back when fighting Father Monster. His willpower alone provided resistance to heat that should have melted him right then. And this is his Evolution of Will, which power's are built off of taking that willpower to its highest extremes. By sheer force of willpower, Akumo can passively force his evolution and adapt far faster than normal. If he could die by the heat aura, his resistance is going to shoot up by multiples of dozens, and maybe even hundreds of times pretty rapidly. Akumo still has ways to defend anyway as well, as Esper barriers have never been shown to be felled by pure heat alone.

Clarivoyance provides Akumo with brief looks into the future too, so they're essentially even on that ground.

But the thing is he can’t see Akainu using Haki. Not sure he could feel it either, Luffy couldn’t tell what he was hit with when armament was used on him.

Akumo should have far greater combat sense and prowess than Luffy does. He's even better than even Goku in that regard. That doesn't guarantee that Akumo would all of a sudden know of Haki, though.

Somewhat last thread said Akainu’s magma starts at 50000 F and gets to 288000 which is far higher than 10000 C, so not sure Akumo’s adaptation would let him cover that fast enough. I think it’d be a bit too much to assume Akumo can instantly adapt to or reflect things so much hotter than what he’s used to.

Part of the point of Akumo's will here is that he can evolve and 'surpass the unfairness of the strongest in the world', which is why his adaptation is so good. In fact, that's what the Rapid Evolution Phenoninon actually is at its core. This isn't instant, but it is momentary, and even the first instant that he's hurt by the heat aura is all it takes for Akumo to shoot up. Plus I already said that this Akumo already has much higher heat resistance than 10000 degrees C, that's his lowest baseline for it. He's evovled multiple forms since then, greatly raising it each time.

On top of resisatnce, he's also able to just absorb pure flames as of Evolution of Resolve, and just like everything else, that ability has shot up a lot. Not sure how effeictive it would be here, but that in addition to pure heat resisatnce ought to be enough to give Akumo the evolution opening he needs to just resist all this heat anyway.

Akainu has a ton of combat skill/experience as well as precog, so Akumo melting him would be hard for more than just his magma body. Akainu isn’t overconfident, he’ll dodge if needed.

Akumo has his own form of precog via clairvoyance. It's limited, but Akumo can see the future too. Akumo has fought countless different enemies/types of enemies pretty quickly as well, and pretty much won every time. He may be young but he's plenty experienced.

Also, even without clairvoyance, Akumo doesn’t even need to think about dodging since his body simply does it for him by basing its movements on Akumo seeing every possible move his enemy can make, then reacting to the one they choose. His prowess is so high that he can anticpate every possible movement, even down to the smallest ones, and then auto react.

He also has Low-High regen for his Magma body, so anything less than the Tornado wouldn’t take him out.

Akumo can stretch Tornado Torrent pretty decently. He could also evovle extra arms and make a far stronger ten way, twleve way, or much higher kind of thunderclap which could have a similar effect (if not a better one) with far higher range. The sound of that kind of clap on its own could just make Akainu's head explode as well, but not sure how effective that would be.

Mortum Starlight will also evovle the more he uses it, although that's a lot slower. It wouldn't all of a sudden be able to win the match for Akumo, but would hbe harder to recover from each time if he actually landed it.

 

[ExSENNA]

By the way, if Akumo loses to heat aura Akainu would get disqualified because of passive insta-win hax

Even if Akumo can withstand it, not sure how many other characters would have withstood it in the first place. If it is a minor thing that did not give him much it would be fine, but apparently he can passively burn people to crisp

 

[VeneficaAuthor]

apparently he can passively burn people to crisp

Yeah that seems to be like, his whole thing (luckily, Akumo is able to adapt to it and evolve via extreme willpower)

Also I looked through Haki’s page on vs wiki. It says “It is a power that allows people to utilize their spiritual energy for various purposes”, this is something Akumo shouldn’t have much trouble copying. Seeing Akainu do literally anything via Haki is enough for him to copy it, or at least the ‘flow’ of Haki as energy, and therefore being able to mimic it at the bare minimum. Not perfectly at first, but Akumo is also known for being able to raise the abilities he copies above the original users in just moments (including spirit/energy based powers like with his Mortum attacks and Esper powers + master martial arts styles he didn’t even know existed before seeing them, and other impossible stuff like Ako’s transformations even though Akumo isn’t robotic at all), so I don’t see too much problems for Akumo. He also has enhanced senses via his Esper abilities (potentially being able to sense Haki from the beginning based on this, as he can sense hidden energies within his opponents) and can drain Akainu’s energy with Esper auras while his everything will constantly rise. He most likely wins mid-diff.

Edit: It’s also found in every person in One Piece, which means it’s a power they are born with. Akumo can copy exclusive powers to those born with them pretty easily too, which is the case with all of his Esper related powers.
